Verdable by Beriana

Organic Reflections

Minimalism and nature are not easy to reconcile, but the Verdable side-table planters designed by Berlin-based Beriana come pretty close.

Shown at the Salone Satellite in Milan for the first time, Verdable is a collection of 3 side tables featuring tube-shaped plant pots with mirror-surface tops placed asymmetrically on top. The mirror surface reflects the plants or flowers, creating the impression that they are floating in space. The tables look effortless cool and lush at the same time and would look equally impressive in the office lobby or next to a sleek sofa at home.

Ann Demeulemeester is a design legend who needs no introduction.

Dungeness, with its grey North Sea setting and hulking presence of a nuclear power station, may not strike many as a desirable spot for a beach cottage. For some, however, this bleakness is precisely the appeal.

According to the architects, the Compound "is not for conservatives". You can say that again! The design of this house in Melbourne has more in common with oil refineries or industrial installations than the nondescript houses between which it is sandwiched.
